Conventional wisdom says that a cluster of neurons that are actively submitted to an experience form a network that record this experience for any future eventuality even after the experience has ceased. In other words, "Neurons that fire together, wire together".
Old experiments that have been and are being revisited now show that even individual non-neural cells can remember a experience. Or in other words, individual non-neural cells have a memory. This information completely changes our understanding of the mechanism of a memory. For a fascinating detailed description, see the link below:
